Here, I will concern myself with two items: Satam Al Suqami's passport and the red headbands that were said to have been worn by the alleged hijackers of UAL 93.
1. The passport of Satam Al Suqami, the only one of the Flight 11 alleged hijackers flight attendants Betty Ong and Amy Sweeney identified as taking part in the goings on onboard the plane, was found on the day of the attacks. There are several versions of how the passport was found:
"...near the ruins of the towers as exhausted rescue workers clawed through the wreckage" (https://web.archive.org/web/20020209185830/http://www.azstarnet.com/attack/10916Nrescues.html)
"...FBI's New York Office will say that police and the FBI found it during a 'grid' search of the area" (CNN, 9/18/2001)
An FBI timeline will state the the passport is found by a civilian on a street near WTC and is "soaked in fuel" (https://archive.org/details/1022053000911COMMISSIONREPORTDOCS43Section1718496/1002907-000%20---%20911%20COMMISSION%20DOCUMENTS%20---%20Section%201%20%28690057%29/page/2692/mode/2up)
In any case and primarily to make the story more believable, the 911 commission will state that the passport was found by a passerby in the vicinity of Vesey street before the collapse of either tower and handed over to officer Yuk H. Chin of the NYPD:
FBI reports revealed that Suqami’s passport was recovered by NYPD Detective Yuk H. Chin from a male passerby in a business suit, about 30 years old. The passerby left before being identified, while debris was falling from WTC 2. The tower collapsed shortly thereafter. The detective then gave the passport to the FBI on 9/11. Later analysis showed that it contained what are now believed to be fraudulent travel stamps associated with al Qaeda. In addition, the forensic document analysis of Satam al Suqami’s passport indicates that on page 8, “An Arabic stamp impression located near the top of page 8 has been partially covered with correction fluid,” as stated in an INS letter from John Ross, INS Supervisory Forensic Document Examiner, to Lorie Gottesman, FBI Document Examiner, on November 2, 2001.

The passport managed to extricate itself from inside a pocket or a wallet or a bag or a seat pocket or all of the above, subsequently survive a crash, an explosion that nearly vaporised the entire plane, a ball of fire and a half a kilometer fall to be found in the condition shown below:

However, there is one more detail. Below is the FBI interview of the ticket agent (name redacted) that checked Al Suqami in for Flight 11. Note that this is not just any check in, as the ticket agent had to call for a translator because Al Suqami was having difficulty understanding English. He ended up spending seven to ten minutes at her counter.

A red cover for a Saudi Arabian passport looks like this:
So now the passport has the added task of extricating itself from its red cover to be found as "green" in the vicinity of Vessey street by a passerby in a business suite...
Sometime after 911 a letter appeared written by some Rich Wozniak claiming he was the one that discovered the passport. Although more likely than not his story is bogus I will add it here as yet another tantalising detail surrounding the passport saga:
Source : 9-11 Testimony (https://christian-faith.com/9-11-testimony/)
Again according to the 9/11 Commission version that is now taken for a fact, the passport was handed over to a NYPD officer, Detective Yuk. H. Chin, its discovery being announced on September 16th, by none other than New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik:
-- New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik said Sunday a passport belonging to one of the hijackers was discovered a few days ago several blocks from the crash site by a passerby. Based on the new evidence, the FBI and police decided to widen the search area beyond the immediate crash site.

2. Out of the thirteen people that made phonecalls from flight 93, two, flight attendant Sandra Bradshaw and passenger Jeremy Glick mentioned that the alleged hijackers were of middle-eastern descent and were wearing red headbands.
In particular, Sandra Bradshaw told her husband Philip that the plane had been hijacked by three men with dark skin who "almost looked Islamic" and had put red headbands on their heads (13499803-T7-B13-Flights-Phone-Calls-Fdr-Search-of-FBI-302-Files-for-175-77-and-93, 18886049-T7-B12-DOJ-Doc-Req-35-13-Packet-5-Fdr-Entire-Contents-Response-Letters-Reports-404). Similarly, Jeremy Glick told his wife Lyzbeth that the plane had been hijacked by three "Iranian looking" males with dark skin who wore red bands or bandanas on their heads, making the distinction that the headbands were the ethnic type as opposed to the hippie type (18885705-T7-B12-DOJ-Doc-Req-35-13-Packet-4-Fdr-Entire-Contents-Response-Letters-Reports-403, 14094225-T7-B17-FBI-302s-of-Interest-Flight-93-Fdr-Entire-Contents, 18886268-T7-B12-Flight-93-Calls-Jeremy-Glick-Fdr-FBI-302-Transcript-Joanne-Makely-911-Call-412).
Aside from the fact that they both mention three hijackers when the official narrative talks about four, they both agree the hijackers are Middle-Eastern and are wearing red headbands. Glick goes even further to say that the headbands are the ethnic as opposed to the hippie type. Now, if we look up ethnic-type headband worn by middle-eastern men, what we come up with is the typical red kuffiyah (or keffiyeh), like the one below:
And indeed, there are both video footage and photographs showing Ziad Jarrah, Saeed Al-Ghamdi and Ahmed Al-Nami wearing the said kuffiyah:
Ziad Jarrah
Saeed Al-Ghamdi
Ahmed Al-Nami
The kuffiyah can be worn over the head or over the shoulders like so:
...and what it primarily does, in the eyes of a westerner, is help identify the wearer as an a Arab or a Middle-Easterner.
Take a look at the way the hijackers are portrayed in various documentaries and films that have been made since 2001:
(movie: United 93)
(movie: The flight that fought back)
(movie: The flight that fought back)
(documentary: The story of flight 93)
(documentary: The story of flight 93)
(documentary: The story of flight 93)
three olive-skinned men wearing nondescript red bandanas or even plain ribbons over their heads. They look anything from a Mexican Bandito to Karate Kid or Minnie Mouse...Put a red kuffiyah around their heads though and they instantly turn into Arabs...(Jeremy Glick mistook Iranians for Arabs or vice versa, but OK, we know what he meant...)
Despite getting all this information from the people on board the planes, not to mention being in possession of video and photographs of the alleged hijackers themselves wearing the red headbands, and having the chance to produce a decent artifact in order further incriminate the perpetrators, what does the FBI (or whoever it was that planted it) come up with?
This:
A hippie-type bandana, nicely folded and neatly pressed where at least there should have been creases where the knots would have been had anyone ever worn this...
